Hey - I have a picture that would make Kim laugh, but I can't post pixs while at work....anyone have an email address so I can send you the picture and you can post on our thread????? Kim needs this!!

 

[MrsMork]

I just paid mine off too, we are officially "booked" and ready to start the reservation dash this weekend! Now it's Sunday morning at 3am, right?

3 am EASTERN time. Midnight for us out here on the left coast. Depends on your time zone.

 

[lillygator]

anyone going to the MVMCP at MK on friday night? pros/cons? trying to decide....

we are going on Thursday night - taking advantage of that $6 discount!! My mom and sis are joining us as well.

 

[MrsMork]

anyone going to the MVMCP at MK on friday night? pros/cons? trying to decide....

We went on Thursday last year and had lots of fun. I have no experience with Friday, but heard it is very crowded and that is why we chose Thursday.

 

[lillygator]

No - but I am sure DH can make one. He has discovered a love of for making smilies but the problem is they take a long time. He can't possibly keep up with requests. However, if there are any as a group that you guys really, really, really want I am sure he will try to get to those first.

We are planning on dining in Palo Monday evening when there should be very few other geeks. Remember we need some time and space away from the geeks so we can recapture that magical feeling so we can price!

I haven't informed Charming yet but there will be no pricing on the cruise. We were lucky last year but as you well know about this - Haley was a result from a couldn't pass up pricing deal on our first DCL adventure!

 

[MrsMork]

don't forget your stickers and markers for pricing!! LOL

will there be any time for pricing? I don't see it for me...I'm becoming overwhelmed...now our group is trying to figure out what to do pre-cruise on Thur nite-Fri nite....I just want to chill...they're talking MGM, MVMCP, DTD, etc - YIKES!! Also, I'm starting to have $$ issues with the final payment due...I'm like - that's another $500!! I've even been thinking of downgrading our room to save $$

OY!

Does your whole big group have to do everything together? I would think getting 24 people together for everything would be a nightmare! OY

 

[lillygator]

3 am EASTERN time. Midnight for us out here on the left coast. Depends on your time zone.

it's such a KILLER!! I wonder why the 3am opening time.....



I can't wait for MVMCP....it will be a blast. Hopefully we'll run into John and Amy - I think they are going on Thursday night as well. Last year it was COLD!!

OY!

Maybe everyone can be on their own for the two nights before? I think we are just doing MVMCP and DTD....we may hit Epcot to see some xmas lights round the world but no biggie if we don't................

I plan on hitting vacation mode at 4:30pm on Wednesday December 6th.................................................................

Lisa, do you have a count on approximately how many kids vs. adults we have? I was thinking of bringing bubbles for them to blow at sail away.

Tana, that is at the top of the manifest page on the site.

 

[MommyMinnie]

Hey guys!
I'm getting so excited I just can't stand it!

I PM'd my parasailing buddies to see if we can sail together. I used to say I wasn't going to stay up all night to get reservations but now I just might.

I"m sorry I've missed out on all the chatter but work has kept me busy at work and quilting has kept me busy at home and it's getting even busier.

We did go to the beach this weekend.

Kim, I thought about you. We stopped in Savannah for lunch at the Pirate House on the way home Monday. DH had DD really spooked about the ghosts there. We went through Savannah so DD could see the squares and get a taste of colonial GA.

See ya again real soon!

 

[lbgraves]

I'm debating the Tea with Wendy on the ship... think it would be boring for DD12?

YES! I wouldn't make her stop having fun to go to that. It is for the younger kids...not really that much to it.

 

[lbgraves]

good to note....also ==== everyone who is on there...make sure names and room numbers are correct... I will try to give out the mickey magnets at the terminal but if I don't I'll come around to the cabins and put them on your door....also, if you are uncomfortable with your name (first) on your door let me know.

Vanessa, I believe that the last conversation we had about that people were fine with the first names. Now the stockings will have the last name on it and be hung on the fish outside the door.

 

[lbgraves]

We are in a fairly small town and would be easy to find. We have been on this board for several years and no crazies have looked us up yet! We are still waiting.....

The only crazies that took info from the board were disconnected family, which did upset me but they are just living in a fantasy world.

 

[DSharpe]

Does your whole big group have to do everything together? I would think getting 24 people together for everything would be a nightmare! OY

no, no of course not - but I just don't want anyone to feel left out plus, me personally am not about running around for 2 days...I dunno....will keep thinking about it...

thanks eveyone!

 

[lillygator]

gosh it's only September....at least it's a 'ber month. I think once Sat am hits the next 90 days will fly by!! At least I'm hoping!

 

[lbgraves]

Good morning!
Danger Boy goes back to preschool today. He tells me "I can be nice!"
And he's a "luncher" today (staying for an extra hour and eating his packed lunch there).
Hope everyone else can be nice today, too! (YEAH! it's trip day for Angie!)

I hope that DS has a great day!

 

[lbgraves]

My best friend is in Colorodo now. The one moving to San Diego. She said Kansas was VERY boring to drive through. What, she doesn't like to look at corn, cows, and I forget whatelse she said for 500 miles?? I think she plans on getting to SD on Sunday. Her boys called DDs yesterday. DD3 still has no clue about what this means. She keeps asking if they are coming over.

Well, the only thing you left out was....dirt!

 

[lbgraves]

I feel your pain on the spelling words - that was my oldest son's WORST homework ever!! He could drag it out all night!

I picked up some reward stickers today. If they finish their homework by 4 pm they will get a sticker. That will give them over 45 minutes to get it done. I will have to come up with a reward if they do it all 5 days.

 

[lbgraves]

and any day at the DMV is a long day from my experience...

One good thing about living in a small town is that DMV doesn't take very long at all. In VA I stood in line to get in the right line. OY!

 

[lbgraves]

Ok - ----- -


PIF!!! No getting rid of us now!!


FWIW - the DCL has never show paid for me, always says booked. My TA is calling in the payment so I will call DCL later today and make sure they have it!

It never changes to show that you are paid.
